Earnings Call Summary
Booking delivered 338 million room nights in the quarter, up 6 percent year over year, with revenue of 5 point 5 billion, up 16 percent. The Middle East conflict that began late February reduced growth by roughly 2 percentage points and caused elevated cancellations in March. Despite this, U.S. room nights accelerated to low teens growth for the fourth quarter in a row, and the company remains confident in long term travel demand recovery.
Guidance Company expects 2 to 4 percent room night growth next quarter due to Middle East conflict continuing through end of June. For full year 2026, they now guide gross bookings growth to high single digits to low double digits, with adjusted EPS up low to mid teens, both down from prior guidance at midpoint but high end remains intact.
Clearly negative report. The company missed important expectations and likely triggers downward revisions.
Dividend
Booking Holdings pays an annual dividend rate of $1.68, which gives it a yield of about 1.08%. The dividend payout ratio stands at 17.8%.
